There is not a lot of Chinese smartphones that take in hand and realize that this is something very interesting. On the one hand, nothing special nice smartphone design review Ulefone Metal does not differ from the same Meizu M3s or Xiaomi RedMi 3s, but when I took him in hand – understand that tactile Ulefone Metal head on the floor above. But the feeling – it’s good, and I propose to deal with Ulefone Metal complex, with all its advantages and disadvantages.
THE NICE CHEAP SMARTPHONE 2016
UNPACKING AND EQUIPMENT
Unusual already started with the box: contrary to the canons of the Chinese packaging carton nice smartphone design review Ulefone Metal pulled the tab. Packaging made of black and very strong cardboard, printing at least.
Options for my taste, very successful. Besides the standard MicroUSB cable, charging for 5 volts 1 amp, documentation and paper clips to open the tray SIM card, we find the protective glass on the screen and cover pad. There is obtained a very interesting fact – on the one hand, we have a statement on the availability of Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and the other glued “out of the box” on the screen film. Moreover, we are also given a choice: to use the device with film or protective glass. In my subjective opinion, statement of Corning Gorilla more than questionable, so I recommend making a choice yet. The bag is made of the skin-like material, non-slip and very pleasant to the touch.
DESIGN / ERGONOMICS
In his hand nice smartphone design review Ulefone Metal, it made my real ecstasy. Granted, it’s a bit strange because before him I have visited on a review of a much more famous Meizu M3s and Xiaomi RedMi 3s. In my opinion, the device is a cross of them: it is not as impersonal as the Xiaomi and not as rounded as the Meizu. The entire rear of the Ulefone Metal is made of metal, it pleasantly cools the hand. Adds comfortable feeling the more solid weight and a small 2.5D effect in the glass, while on the Meizu M3s with its rounded, in my opinion, overdone, and Xiaomi – on the contrary. It does not hold together, do not play, the brutal black color goes well with the image of an eagle.
Shortcomings also exist – you can see a small gap, which can accumulate dust over time in the camera area.
On the front side of the device are 5-inch display, camera, earpiece, sensors and three touch-sensitive keys are not illuminated. An indicator of the events we do not treat that made me a storm of indignation.
On the back side placed monochrome LED flash, main camera, fingerprint sensor, the company logo and a small slit for the media loud speaker.
The fingerprint scanner on the current firmware running is not ideal.
Speaker nice smartphone design review Ulefone Metal except that loud, even normal boomed, which together with a good sound in the headphones gives positive emotions in auditory perception device – with sound everything is in order!
Combination tray for Nano and Micro-SIM card or Nano-SIM card and MicroSD memory card slot is located on the left side of the device.
On the right side – separate volume buttons and the power button. The buttons are thin, made of plastic, are pressed gently, without the express clicks. If the unit is shaken, the buttons do not rattle.
Through the efforts of Apple, now it is necessary to speak about the presence of a 3.5 mm audio jack. It is situated on the upper face of the unit.
Below we are waiting for MicroUSB and a single microphone. In the absence of noise-canceling microphone to say that in the case of inexpensive smartphones minus-one to call it – a lot depends on the implementation of the conversation. Competitors from Xiaomi has a second microphone, while the Meizu – no.
BATTERY
The battery in nice smartphone design review Ulefone Metal capacity of 3050mAh. USB tester showed the presence of the claimed 3000mAh.
However, capacity is good, but energy efficiency – is quite another. Here we have shown the device is very average. For comparison, Meizu M3s in the same capacity has surpassed the result almost doubled.
DISPLAY
The nice smartphone design review Ulefone Metal has a 5-inch IPS OGS HD display with multitouch 5 touch points. The image on the screen bright and clear, there is software support MiraVision.
But here, in the garden of the smartphone was curled stone. Under two of the angles picture Shinichi, and under the remaining two – green.
COMMUNICATION
Since communication is great, supported by all the necessary 2G, 3G, and 4G frequency.
Wi-Fi and GPS on your head better than Meizu M3s.
OTG and Bluetooth 4 also available.
THE NICE ANDROID SMARTPHONE ULEFONE METAL REVIEW
INTERFACE / SOFTWARE
The nice smartphone design review Ulefone Metal Works at close to stock Android 6, with minimal modifications interface.
The interface works off quickly, is a function of waking up by double-tapa on the screen, and sleep on double-tap on the home button, a screenshot with three fingers, startup manager, Quick Launch menu Float Multi-Task and lock off by GPS, smart gadgets or finding the device in his hands. Firmware dopilivat carefully until I tested the smartphone has already reached two updates.
IRON
The nice smartphone design review Ulefone Metal is based on is not top-end 64-bit 8-core processor with MTK MT6753 1.3GHz 8 cores, with the schedule meets the Mali-T720. A few days over 4 hours, played in World of Tanks Blitz on medium graphics settings without shadows – the measurable heat was not, with all excellent performance.
RAM 3 GB – they really enough for all.
Antutu 6.2.1 scored 37020 points.
CAMS
The camera is probably the most vulnerable spot Ulefone Metal. The front camera is only 2 megapixels. It handles soundly and even has a screen backlight as the last iPhone.
But the main camera of 8-megapixel sensor Sony IMX149 is very slow to focus and gives a rare great shot, mostly pictures are very hazy. On the Sony website, I was trying to get information about the IMX149 but unfortunately found nothing. I think Sony’s in this sensor the same as at the penguin from the birds. Camera frankly disappointed – one really good shot out of 10. There are, of course, hope that things will change with iOS, but it logarithmically small.
With the source, images can be found here.
Video removes already in archive format 3gp with a resolution FullHD, but everything is very sad:
CONCLUSION
Summing up his impressions regarding nice smartphone design review Ulefone Metal, I can say that the device, with all its tactile appeal, against famous competitors, essentially loses in camera, color-inverse matrix display, and the average energy efficiency. The virtues can allocate 3 gigabytes of RAM, excellent communication, and good sound performance smartphone capabilities.
